Component Systems

Due to the demands on the engineering profession, all products and systems are expected to satisfy certain availability requirements. The availability is a measure of the readiness of a product or system for use at any specified time. In this work, the availability of single-component systems is addressed. Monte Carlo simulation is used to estimate the availability of the system, assuming that the failure and repair times follow exponential, normal (Gaussian), and uniform probability distributions. The results are compared. Although the availability functions look very different, the steady-state availability is the same for all. Also, the availability of a component whose hazard function follows the bathtub curve is estimated, and it is found that the exponential distribution is not a good approximation, especially at the earliest stages of operation.

Vacancy Mechanism

The shrinkage via the vacancy mechanism of a mono–atomic nanotube is described. Using Gibbs–Thomson boundary conditions an exact solution is obtained of the kinetic equation in quasi steady–state at the linear approximation. A collapse time as a function of the size of a nanotube is determined. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation is used to test the analytical analysis.

Average Electron

Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport in an InP diode of n+–i(n)–n+ structure is compared with GaAs diode. The anode voltage ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 V. The distributions of electron energies and electron velocities and the profiles of the electron density, electric field and potential and average electron velocity are computed. Based on these data, the near ballistic nature of the electron transport in the 0.2 μm-long diode and the importance of the back-scattering of electrons from the anode n+-layer are discussed. In addition, the effects of the lattice temperature and doping on the length of the active layer are discussed. Electronic states within the conduction band valleys at the Γ, L, and X are represented by non-parabolic ellipsoidal valleys centered on important symmetry points of the Brillouin zone. Our simulation results have also shown that the electron velocity characteristics in InP diode are more sensitive to temperature than in other III–V semiconductors such as GaAs .
